Hello Teresa, I just started using stand scan pro, I like it. I am totally blind, I could not take proper picture of the text without stand scan pro. Sometimes I was getting full text, sometimes I wasn't. so I thought of buying this bundle of stand scan pro, it is quite good. I am just using from Four days. Regards Ruby

At best, I can get a few words, just enough to find out what the object is. I notice that I've gotten better with practice, but it's very rough going for me. I don't know how much of my difficulty has to do with never having had sight, but I'd imagine that generally, it's easier for those who've had sight, because finding the best visual situation for this task comes more easily to those who've had sight. Of course, I'm generalizing here, and I may be wrong. after all, I haven't done a formal study of this issue. :) I am continuing to practice, and I'm patient, but I have to say, the experience is certainly not like using a flat-bed scanner with an application such as Kurzweil 1000 or Open Book.

If you have a steady hand and a good understanding of how to ensure that the page is visible to the app, they can both be used free hand very successfully. Several of us have posted our results from these apps here to show what can be done. You need good lighting, and if, like me, you have no light perception, the Light Detector app is a must as well. > > Cheers, > > Anne > > > On 25 Feb 2014, at 04:25, Antonio Guimaraes <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I bought text detective and I'm rather disappointed. >> >> It is useless enough to leave me skeptical about any iPHone scanning solution. >> >> Based on results, do any of you think I should reconsider, and give Textgrabber a try? >> >> It's not too expensive, which is a noter reason to be skeptical.
